Got to believe we would have been sitting at 3 or 4. I don't think so. But they play an unbalanced schedule as well. The Irish were the big benefactors of it this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could prob argue that Wake benefitted from the unbalance just as much. 4-5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most meaningful comparison is that Syracuse finished in 9th place with a conference record of 9-11. Syracuse beat us in Double OT, so an argument could be made that the two were fairly equal.

Yeah, I get that, but I have a very hard time believing Syracuse would have had any chance to beat us at home or on a neutral floor. At home was their only shot and it took double OT early in the season (our first road game). I don’t think we fall below 5th. Unless we got the wrong end of the unbalanced schedule. JMO.

Could have swept PU & OSU. Lost two to WI, but should have at least split & could have swept WI. As flawed as IU was, a few bounces the other way & IU could have been near the top of the B1G. Yes, I understand that but the B1G sucked in the tournament. Our fan base would be on fire if we were any of the top four seeds and got eliminated where they did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made the tournament because of our body of work, not because of the perception of the conferences. Eye test and how a team is playing down the stretch isn’t a factor; I think maybe this tournament is proof it should be, but the goal of the committee is not to put in the most teams with the chance of winning or seeding teams according to who they think can make a deep run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Hill gives a more unbiased call. Nantz has always played favorites. He's always been a huge Tom Brady sycophant too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me with a straight face that Duke is being officiated the same way as was Gonzaga.

Inequality Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Duke is playing well. Quick, precise & efficient. Really having their way. I like how well their players playing sharp and don’t appear to be thinking through each step. But the Duke defense is the difference right now. Arkansas is going to have to step it up defensively. Turn up the tempo and shift the momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I think the ACC is proving to be better than people thought, while the Big Ten proved to be the opposite. I get that, but my initial point was that Duke, Carolina, and Miami didn’t get the crap beat out of them during the regular season like Big10 teams did, so they are fresher when the tournament rolls around. With that said, those three teams’ success in the tourney don’t equate to a 15 team league all of a sudden being better because of it. I would just argue that Carolina and Miami are better than we thought (or just got hot at the right time). Doesn’t prove anything about the league for me. Big 10 did win the challenge again right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
